摘要:Broadband penetration in countries around the world varies immensely between different regions. More economically developed regions (MEDC’s) such as North America and Western Europe are the leaders of broadband penetration while less economically developed regions (LEDC’s) such as Asia and Africa are lagging behind the rest of the world. Delivering affordable, reliable broadband to less developed regions will help bridge the digital divide and help these regions to become stronger, more competitive and more prepared for continued growth in the years to come. This paper aims to show the differences in broadband penetration between the different regions around the world, the benefits brought to countries by the development of the broadband infrastructure and what strategies countries are undertaking to improve that infrastructure.
